Clay out he's spending some time with family. 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 1: Back in tomorrow. Elon Musk fumes at San Francisco mayor 6 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: after city opens investigation into Twitter headquarters. That is the 7 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: headline right now. That is what I'm seeing here, and 8 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: I've got to tell you it is remarkable how thuggish 9 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: the Democrats are willing to be nice Twitter. You got there, Elon, 10 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: be a shame if something happened to it. The mayor 11 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: of San Francisco is overseeing well, I should say, the 12 00:00:54,560 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: apparatus of San Francisco is doing an investigation to at 13 00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: weather the company's headquarters. Twitter's headquarters in San Francisco has 14 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: set up some beds in offices for employees, and Elon 15 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: Musk has pointed out in a tweet. So city of 16 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: San Francisco attacks companies providing beds for tired employees instead 17 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: of making sure kids are safe from Fentonel, where are 18 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: your priorities London breed? He asks, Let's see this is 19 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: actually what the Democrat priorities are cleaning up the streets, 20 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: making your children safe, making you safe in San Francisco 21 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: and New York, and name a major city that is 22 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: a secondary priority to harassing Twitter and making sure that 23 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: it does not become the haven for free speech that 24 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: Elon Musk is slowly but surely turning it into. That's 25 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: something that as we continue to watch this play out, 26 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: they're just going to find more and more ways to 27 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: bring about more pressure. For example, they've talked about the 28 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: White House has brought up that they're watching Twitter closely. 29 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: Why is the White House watching Twitter? In what world 30 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: is the White House actually thinking that it is in 31 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: its purview to do this right? Well, in the world 32 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: of the most important single thing is making sure that 33 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: the left has dominance of social media platforms, dominates the 34 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: conversation online, and can take action against anybody who stands 35 00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: athwart that right or who doesn't go along with that. 36 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: So Elon knows that they're doing an investigation now California 37 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: labor law. Everyone understands is you've got a bunch of 38 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: communist apparachics making sure that it's as impossible as possible 39 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 1: for anybody to run and operate a business in California, 40 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: which is why it's hemorrhaging people and going to continue 41 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: to hemorrhage people because they've taken what was a Republican stronghold, 42 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,679 Speaker 1: gave us Ronald Reagan, everybody a Republican stronghold until the nineties, 43 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: and in the richest and most populous US state, and 44 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: they're just ruining it. They're ruining the place. Elon Musk 45 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: should move Twitter's headquarters asap from San Francisco. That much 46 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: of it is clear, Okay, Elon Musk should move it. 47 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 1: And I think I mean Texas, Florida, Tennessee, bunch of 48 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: states that he should consider moving the headquarters. And he's 49 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,840 Speaker 1: already cut the staff size by eighty five percent, so 50 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: that's certainly a move in the right direction. And it 51 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: still functions really well. Isn't that amazing? Eighty five If 52 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: you told me that you just fired eighty five cent 53 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: of employees of McDonald's, for example, I'd say, well, you're 54 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: probably gonna have a lot of problems, right you fire 55 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: eighty five percent of employees at Disney, You're gonna that's 56 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: probably not gonna work. I mean, you could get rid 57 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: of some I'm sure, but that's not that's a lot Twitter. 58 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: It's no big deal because what it had become was 59 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: effectively a place of sinecure, a place of privileged perch 60 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 1: for elite Libs to engage in woke politics and to 61 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: suppress people that in any way disagreed with them, and 62 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: to take all the actions which brings me, of course 63 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: Elon Musk firing as well, a lot of Elon stuff 64 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: going on. Elon Musk firing. James Baker. No, not that 65 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: James Baker. People have had to you know, that's a 66 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: different James Baker, the James Baker who was the senior 67 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: counsel at the FBI and became deputy counsel of Twitter. 68 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: It came out that this same individual who while at 69 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 1: the FBI was over we're seeing aspects of the Russia 70 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: collusion hoax. It was a massive hoax. It was used 71 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: in the worst possible, worst possible faith, worst possible violation 72 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: of public trust as a weapon against the Trump administration 73 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: by deep state elements. This is all fact. People, are 74 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: you talking with the deep state? Because I know because 75 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: I worked in the CIA, I know the kind of 76 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: people that rise in these institutions and how they become 77 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: very cozy with those in power in the political and 78 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: elected branches of government or parts of government, and I 79 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: understand that they view the usage of the bureaucracy as 80 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: a tool of left wing dominance as something that they 81 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,679 Speaker 1: absolutely should do. Absolutely they think that they're saving the country, 82 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: which which brings me to not only do you have 83 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 1: Elon Musk firing Baker now who was looking over the 84 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: Twitter files. Apparently it's very strange he was looking over 85 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 1: the Twitter files before they were released last week. The 86 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: story that the Democrat aligned MSM still refuses, absolutely refuses 87 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,280 Speaker 1: to spend any time on right. But that story, as 88 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: we know, is going to continue on. I believe Jack Dorsey, 89 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: the former CEO of Twitter, has already said he wants 90 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:36,040 Speaker 1: Elon Musk to release all of the files, right. He 91 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: wants Elon Musk to just put her all out there, 92 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: and I think that that would be great. I do 93 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: think that there's going to need to be at least 94 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 1: some sifting through that occurs, right, because heaven knows how 95 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: much in the way of communications and things of that 96 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: nature have been going on at Twitter that you could 97 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: see that are completely irrelevant. But he fired this guy 98 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: and he's continuing to do what he said he would 99 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: do all along. Elon Musk is draining the swamp of 100 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: Twitter and it's a great thing to see. And the 101 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: people that went along with the Hunter Biden laptop suppression. 102 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: Keep in mind, there was that what fifty one, I 103 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 1: think is always the I forget the number, the fifty 104 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: one former intelligence professionals. Now that we know Twitter knew 105 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: there was no real justification for it, whatsoever. They made 106 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: one up. Twitter had been told by the FBI in 107 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: advance that there was some kind of Russian disinformation coming. 108 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: The FBI, after involving itself so egregiously in the twenty 109 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 1: sixteen election, took the lesson that they need to involve 110 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: themselves again in twenty twenty. They just need to make 111 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: sure there's a different outcome. That is what happened right 112 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen. They got in there, James calling me, Oh, 113 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: nobody would bring charges against Hillary. You're not You're not 114 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 1: the attorney general. What's the FBI director doing giving that speech? 115 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: No person can justify that, No rationalization for that whatsoever 116 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: could you have other than a partisan one. But after 117 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: the total debacle of twenty sixteen, the FBI the fies 118 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: A warrants against Carter Page and the spying on Papadopolis 119 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: and all this craziness, the fabrication of evidence used in 120 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: one of those pies A warrants, all the things that 121 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: were done in that get Trump operation of Russia collusion. 122 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: The FBI comes along in twenty twenty, and what do 123 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 1: they do. Try to find a way to get even 124 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: more involved and this time make sure that they're actually 125 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: going to have a Democrat as president. I don't know 126 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: how else you can think the Hunter Biden laptop suppression 127 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: story plays than there are people for whom Remember there's 128 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: a lot going on here with the ways that this 129 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 1: benefits individuals who engage in these in these soft coups. 130 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: If you will notice that this guy Baker goes from 131 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 1: being at the FBI as a senior lawyer there to 132 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: going to Twitter. Vijaya Gatti was making about ten million 133 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: dollars a year as a senior lawyer at Twitter. So 134 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: trust me, this guy Baker was making a whole heck 135 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: of a lot of money. And it's really just all 136 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: the giant self looking ice cream cone of the apparatus. 137 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: That's what you see. You do what you can inside 138 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: of government to make sure that your side, team Democrat, wins, 139 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: even to the point where people know about what you do, 140 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: know that you had your hand on the scale for 141 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 1: one side or the other. Then you come out and 142 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: you get a great, great job in the private sector, 143 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: making millions of dollars, you know, maybe a book deal. 144 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 1: Look at all the people. I remember when I was 145 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,960 Speaker 1: in the CIA, I remember as soon as as soon 146 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 1: as I left, people were telling me, oh, you know, 147 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: we don't we don't talk about anything that we did 148 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: in the agency. And you know, people don't really go 149 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: on TV. And I was going on TV to talk 150 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,559 Speaker 1: about what was in the news. I wasn't saying, oh, well, 151 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: this is what I did in the CIA. I was 152 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 1: an analystics, writing memos mostly. But you see the CIA directors, 153 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 1: I think there were five of them former directors, including 154 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 1: acting directors, who signed their names to that Hunter Biden 155 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 1: laptop Russian disinformation lie. None of them are embarrassed, none 156 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: of them have faced any adverse professional consequences as a 157 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: result of it, because they served their purpose. That was 158 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 1: their mission. The mission was to lie to as many 159 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 1: people as possible right before an election, to make sure 160 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,000 Speaker 1: that Joe Biden would win that election. That was it. 161 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: So it's not People would say to me, Oh, they 162 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: must be so embarrassed, they must hang their heads in shame. No, 163 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: they're picking out yachts, my friends. They don't care because 164 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: their job wasn't to tell you the truth. The job 165 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 1: was to leverage their former roles in the government and 166 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: to burn what ever credibility, whatever crabby toss they have 167 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: in service of the Democrat Party. And some of the 168 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: people who did that have gone on to get even bigger, 169 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 1: better jobs in the media, more influential, certainly a whole 170 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: heck of a lot more money they made in the government. 171 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: And the elimination now of this guy James Baker from 172 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: Twitter is indicative of there's going to have to be 173 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: a whole lot more cleanup that occurs. This has only 174 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: at one of these social media platforms. Imagine if we 175 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 1: got unfettered access to the internal communications at Facebook at 176 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,880 Speaker 1: Google before an election, you would see things that would 177 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: just make you realize we're operating in a world of 178 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: fun house mirrors. It's not funny. We're operating in a 179 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 1: world where propaganda has become twenty four to seven constantly 180 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: accessible much more advanced than anything anything that could have 181 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: even been considered before in the let's say, in the 182 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: Soviet era. You see what goes on with Twitter and 183 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: the way they set up, for example, the Trust in 184 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: Safety Commission. You say, it's as though they read nineteen 185 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: eighty four and they didn't see Orwell's nineteen eighty four 186 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: as a warning. It was a how to guide a lesson. Oh, 187 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: let's call it the Trust and Safety Committee. And then 188 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: let's have it put its thumb down on the scale 189 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: for one side over the other. Let's help the Democrat left, which, 190 00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: as we know from COVID without question is the authoritarian 191 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: ideology in America today, and let's do what we can 192 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,719 Speaker 1: to help them by lying to people about as much 193 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: as we possibly can. And that's true on COVID, that's 194 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:44,719 Speaker 1: true on a range of issues, certainly true on the 195 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden laptop. Let's think about this. We're still here 196 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 1: and people are trying to tell you that it's not 197 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: a big deal. Oh okay, let's just take a step back. 198 00:12:54,760 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: Same media apparatus that thought unveiled the Billie Bush Trump 199 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: tape about you know, grabbing the ladies. That was going 200 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: to cost Trump the presidency. That was the most classic 201 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:15,319 Speaker 1: October surprise possible, that when all the way deep in 202 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: the archives of NBC they were holding it. It was 203 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: held for maximum impact. Of course, we know didn't do anything. 204 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,319 Speaker 1: Trump ended up winning. They thought though, that that would 205 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: cost Trump the presidency and actually should have forced him to. 206 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: Some were saying he should have dropped out, right, Oh, 207 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: you should drop out. Maybe Michael Avenati can be president. 208 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 1: Not from his prison cell. They thought that would happen. 209 00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: A laptop that shows that Hunter Biden is selling access 210 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: to Joe Biden in a corrupt, influenced peddling scheme. Not 211 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: he wasn't selling access to Finland, folks. I think this 212 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: is important too. He wasn't selling access, or at least 213 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: the perception of access to Joe Biden to Portugal. He 214 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 1: was selling it to China and to oligarchs in Ukraine. 215 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: That's where the money was coming from. And that's what 216 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: they didn't want people to think about and to figure 217 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: out right before the election, because, as we know, you 218 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: don't have to change a lot of minds. You only 219 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: have to know you swing one hundred thousand people on 220 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,760 Speaker 1: one of these stories, and you swing the election and 221 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: elaw knows that, which is why he is finally getting 222 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: us to a place of some transparency, some truth. In 223 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: all of this. You can imagine the Christmas morning scene, 224 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: kids bounding down the stairs to see if Santa Claus 225 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 1: has visited, full of excitement. There's Dad recording it all 226 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 1: with a camcorder, capturing every moment. It's just one of 227 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: a hundred special moments recorded with that videocam. All of 228 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: those memories are still on videotapes, but there's no longer 229 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: a VCR player to relive them. That's where Legacy Box helps. 230 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 1: This Tennessee based company digitally transfers everything into a format 231 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: you can easily access and watch again, over and over. 232 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 1: They do it by hand so that the old videotapes, 233 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: who rate films, and whatever you send a Legacy Box 234 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: are carefully handled. And they've done this for more than 235 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,480 Speaker 1: a million families already. Their service also makes a great 236 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,720 Speaker 1: Christmas gift. It's not just a box under the tree, 237 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 1: it's a legacy box. Once you fill it full of 238 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: old media, it takes all of three weeks to get 239 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: it back along with the digital files, and the results 240 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 1: are priceless.

I 252 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: think it's fair to say I'd led the charge on 253 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: this because we were all Now I have a little nephew, 254 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: and there's children entering the fold, and hopefully I'll be 255 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: having children soon. And and for kids, obviously I'm not 256 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: I'm not ba humbug over here. I believe in Christmas 257 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: presents for those who are who celebrate Christmas. But for adults, 258 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,640 Speaker 1: I gotta say, after a while, when my siblings and 259 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: I and my parents were all, you know, deep into 260 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: our our your adult years here, twenties, thirties, and now 261 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: into our forties. I just said, look, do we all 262 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: need to keep giving each other sweaters, belts and wallets 263 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: every year? Could we just maybe put a pause on this. 264 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 1: I got an idea in an era where people can 265 00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: just click anything they want on their phones, you know, 266 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: buying things you really a thoughtful gift of some kinds, 267 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: So something that has some meaning to you. I think 268 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: that's where it's it's got to go just the I 269 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: don't know, I thought that it was a lot of 270 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: there was a sense that you had to just, you know, 271 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: spend whatever it was you wanted to spend on somebody 272 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 1: and get them a thing, whether they liked it or not. 273 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,720 Speaker 1: It felt like there was pressure. So I give people. 274 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: I give people books for Christmas. I'm just telling you, 275 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: I've given books out to family members and I try 276 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 1: to take some of the some of the pressure off. 277 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,680 Speaker 1: So again, I think a Claion Buck VIP subscription that 278 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: shows a lot of thoughts absolutely worth it. Trying to 279 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: think of other Christmas traditions that we have, but a 280 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: lot of people do get socks too. Oh, we have 281 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: a book recommendations page on clanbuck dot com if you 282 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 1: want to go check out what books you recommend as 283 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 1: possible gifts.

The reality and so many cities across the country, 311 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 1: as we talk to you about frequently, is that no 312 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: matter how much suffering and decay exists, how many people 313 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: are assaulted, are harassed, or threatened day in and day out, 314 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: there are beliefs of the lib intelligentsia, there are virtue 315 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: signals from the Democrat apparatus that will not shift, that 316 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 1: will not change. They simply don't care. It doesn't matter right, 317 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter enough to them to adjust what they've 318 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 1: been doing. It doesn't matter enough for them to change 319 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: their approach, because ultimately, the suffering of other people, the 320 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 1: suffering of other people, is a price that the Democrat 321 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: elites are willing to pay order to one feel good 322 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: about themselves, Oh, we're the good people, and two to 323 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: stay in power because they continue to pretend that the 324 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: issue is not criminals but law enforcement. This is one 325 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,119 Speaker 1: of the route fallacies of this whole thing. And I 326 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: bring you the late the Safe te Act by Illinois 327 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: Governor J. B. Pritzker, who is an odious fellow who 328 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: I am sure while he was signing this after watching 329 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,720 Speaker 1: how many how many times on the nightly news in 330 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:44,680 Speaker 1: Chicago about one gang member of another or another committing 331 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 1: a homicide on the streets of what is Chicago is 332 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: a great city, but a place that is in decline 333 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: and that is unsafe, and that is run by honestly 334 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: people who are reckless. And the governor of Illinois, where 335 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: Chicago is, you would think that he would see these 336 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: things and want to take action at the state level 337 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: that would help make Chicago a better, safer place. But 338 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: instead I think he wants to get a pad on 339 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 1: the back from the Democrat apparatus and shout at his 340 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,120 Speaker 1: personal chef to bring him more meat loaf. I think 341 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 1: he just does not care what this is going to do. 342 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,280 Speaker 1: What we have seen is the last two years. The 343 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:31,159 Speaker 1: places that have adopted across America, New York, Portland, Austin, Minneapolis, 344 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 1: pick a place that have adopted these soft on crime 345 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: policies that have effectively made it harder for police to 346 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 1: do their jobs and easier for criminals to do their jobs. 347 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: Things have gotten worse. This should be really straightforward, This 348 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: shouldn't be complicated. And yet Pritzger just signed a criminal 349 00:21:55,560 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: justice reform package. Man that word reform, It is among 350 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: the most abused words in the English language these days, 351 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:09,440 Speaker 1: isn't it reform package? And this is for the whole 352 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,199 Speaker 1: state of Illinois. We have a lot of listeners right 353 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,800 Speaker 1: now in Illinois. So what does it do? What does 354 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: it do? Well, there are a few things that you'd say, okay, well, 355 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 1: there's going to be Oh, they're eliminating cash baill, eliminating 356 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 1: cash bail on a January first, you might say to yourself, well, 357 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: isn't this something that they tried in New York. Well, yes, 358 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,639 Speaker 1: and everybody who pays attention to what has happened in 359 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,399 Speaker 1: New York as a result of this, says Albany, the 360 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: state legislature needs to change this because what ends up happening. 361 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: You eliminate cash bail. People come in, they come out. 362 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 1: There's just there's no penalty for that initial interaction with 363 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,640 Speaker 1: the system. It doesn't feel real. There isn't that initial consequence. 364 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: Got to put up money to get out, to get 365 00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,120 Speaker 1: before a judge. People are out on the streets right away, 366 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: they're not held, they don't pay for bail. And you're 367 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: just gonna have criminals. You know this, and I know this. 368 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: There'll be people that do awful things, and there will 369 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: be victims of those crimes. For people that were arrested 370 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 1: three hours before and nothing happened. Nothing happened. They talk 371 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: about all these things. I'm looking at this now. Police 372 00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: certification they're changing, because that's really gonna help. It's just 373 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,199 Speaker 1: the police lack lack the training necessary to do their jobs. 374 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: Is that what we're being told in Illinois. You know 375 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: that's ridiculous, But it is always always easier for Democrat 376 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: politicians to find some way to blame the police for 377 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: the problems of just rampant, out of control crime. The 378 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: one of the one of these though that I think 379 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: it's funny because I was on this, I was looking 380 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,440 Speaker 1: at the breakdown of this on some you know, left 381 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: wing website and they have police certification deaths and custody 382 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: pre trial fairness. That's how they're describing all this. You know, 383 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: it's at the very bottom in like in small writing, 384 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: the very bottom of this article from a left wing 385 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: criminal justice reform activist website. Mandatory minimums can be bypassed 386 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: four offenses including drugs, theft, driving on a revoked license, etc. Etc. 387 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: They just added this whole list. Anything involving drugs you 388 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,199 Speaker 1: could you could be serving no time whatsoever. So you 389 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: have judges who are given that. You have left wing 390 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: judges to begin with, because you have a left wing 391 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: government in charge in Illinois. And what do they think 392 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: that the answer all this is put people in prison 393 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,960 Speaker 1: less for the crimes they commit. You know, it's amazing. 394 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 1: I remember people would talk about even California's three strike law, 395 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: and so this to me is the encapsulation when people 396 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 1: talk about criminal justice reform. The way to encapsulate it 397 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 1: is to think about think about it this way. We 398 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: were led to believe that in California there were people 399 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 1: who were serving life sentences for stealing a pair of socks. 400 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: And I think there was even a story about that 401 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 1: that I can recall from a while ago where some 402 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: guy was his third offense and maybe it wasn't life, 403 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: but he was getting ten years or something. It was 404 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: third offense, and they were relatively minor offenses. You say, oh, okay, 405 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: so let's just get rid of that. Let's get rid 406 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 1: of mandatory third strike sentences, let's get rid of mandatory 407 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:38,640 Speaker 1: minimums altogether. And then you have what you have in 408 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: say New York, where you have people who are arrested 409 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: and it's their hundredth arrest. That's what actually and the 410 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: people who are committing crimes keep doing them over and 411 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,479 Speaker 1: over again every time there's a heinous crime in New York. Now, 412 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: what do I end up saying. I say it on 413 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,959 Speaker 1: this show, guarantee that person has been arrested ten, fifteen, 414 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 1: twenty times. Usually I'm underestimate, but we're led to believe 415 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: people are all people are spending decades in prison for 416 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: getting caught with a marijuana, cigarette or something. It's not happening. 417 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: It's just not true. And anybody that you can speak 418 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: to who's honest, who works in the criminal justice, criminal 419 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,920 Speaker 1: justice realm in a major city in particular, will tell 420 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: you this No, they've just done everything possible to make 421 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: it as easy to get away with crime as they can, 422 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,719 Speaker 1: to do the bare minimum they can of punishing those 423 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: who commit the crimes. And the Democrats are ideologically devoted 424 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 1: to this. They believe it is a function of social justice. 425 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,919 Speaker 1: They think the criminal justice system is just absolutely rooted 426 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,719 Speaker 1: in and soaked in racism. They think the criminal justice 427 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: system as it exists right now. You know I point 428 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: this out, and I know Clay agrees with this analogy. 429 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: The laws that we have against homicide are incredibly if 430 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,679 Speaker 1: you take desperate impact, which is the theory that just 431 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:05,640 Speaker 1: if things affect different groups differently, there's something wrong with 432 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:11,120 Speaker 1: the law or wrong with the policy. Homicide affects men 433 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: far more than it does women as a as a law, 434 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 1: and the prosecutions they're in. Men commit ninety percent of 435 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:22,879 Speaker 1: the murders. So it is the problem that we shouldn't 436 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: have a statute against murder. No, of course not, but 437 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: we just recognize that men commit the murders and that 438 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,239 Speaker 1: you hold people responsible for murders. It's a it's the 439 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 1: most serious crime. So what do we have in society 440 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 1: right now? We have people that think that they're social 441 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 1: engineers of sorts who say, well, in this area, we 442 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 1: think the carceral population doesn't reflect the general population closely enough. 443 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: This is, by the way, how they explain it. This 444 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,399 Speaker 1: is how criminal justice advocates will speak about this if 445 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: you talk to them. So, we just need to have 446 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: fewer people in prison, fewer people overall. Is what they 447 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 1: did in Philadelphia. Let out the prison population thirty percent 448 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 1: in a few years, just up. No more people serving 449 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 1: time thirty percent down. And we have once you see 450 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 1: going on in cities right now. I just mentioned Philadelphia. 451 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: We talked about it yesterday. There's now a gas station 452 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:17,439 Speaker 1: owner who's getting a lot of attention because he hired 453 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: a guy's arm security because he knows the cops won't 454 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 1: do anything and he's sick of getting robbed. And Democrats, 455 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, they just don't care because the suffering 456 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:34,199 Speaker 1: of people, and if we're talking about disproportionate issues, the 457 00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:40,080 Speaker 1: disproportionate suffering of minorities in cities, in high crime communities 458 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: is irrelevant to Democrats like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer 459 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: and go down the list when they have higher goals 460 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,479 Speaker 1: to achieve. And people in the media too I mean, 461 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 1: how many of the people that you think you see 462 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: at CNN or NBC News or any these places live 463 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: in a neighborhood where there's it's dangerous at all, relatively speaking, 464 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: None of them. None of them. And if things get 465 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,320 Speaker 1: a little too you know in New York, if things 466 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: get a little too spicy for them on the streets, 467 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,680 Speaker 1: they'll just go out to the Hampton's. Let's do what 468 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 1: they did during the pandemic. Oh, just go to my 469 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: place at the beach. But for people that actually are 470 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: stuck in neighborhoods with high crime, with failing schools, with 471 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: streets that are covered in filth because there's not enough sanitation, 472 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: pick up all of this. That's the price we pay. 473 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,480 Speaker 1: The price we pay so that elitist liberals can feel 474 00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: good about themselves. Is everybody suffers except those liberals. That's 475 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: the way it's supposed to go. And what better example 476 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: can you have than the governor of Illinois, Pritzker. I mean, 477 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: the guy's at an absolute disgrace. But I can't even 478 00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: begin to explain why anybody Illinois votes for this guy. 479 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 1: But that's what we're up against. I'm looking forward to 480 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,840 Speaker 1: time on the shooting range later this week with some 481 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: friends of mine.

So 508 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: that was fdr as. Today is Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. 509 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: Eighty one years ago. The attack on Pearl Harbor happened, 510 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: was conducted against this nation and brought about an unprecedented 511 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:59,080 Speaker 1: scale of military mobilization here at home. My own grandfather 512 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: on my maternal side served on the USS Batan and 513 00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:07,920 Speaker 1: he which was an aircraft carrier in the early days 514 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 1: of aircraft carriers. And he didn't talk about life in 515 00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: the Pacific Theater very often at all. Occasionally he would 516 00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: relay stories. He went on. He was involved in construction 517 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: and real estate later on in life, and actually did 518 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: a lot of charity work. There's a foundation name for him, 519 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 1: the Lawrence F. Hickey Foundation, that helps underprivileged children and 520 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: he so he did a lot of that he didn't 521 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: speak very often about his time in the Pacific Theater, 522 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: but toward the very end, and I remember I came 523 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,160 Speaker 1: back from Afghanistan in my capacity as a as a 524 00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,240 Speaker 1: CIA four deployed CIA analyst, and I had gotten a 525 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: There are a lot of things you'd bring back, carpets 526 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 1: that was very obviously very common. I brought back some 527 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: other souvenirs, you know, these curved tribal knives, things like that. 528 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,560 Speaker 1: But I brought him a blanket. So I just remember 529 00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,440 Speaker 1: sitting and listening to him, and this was his last, 530 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: his last years before he passed, and he would have 531 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: this blanket across his knees which I had gotten for 532 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: him in Afghanistan, and occasionally, out of nowhere, he would 533 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:23,240 Speaker 1: just start to say, you know, the Kamakazis just kept coming. 534 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: And I didn't sleep for a week. And I think 535 00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: he was at I think his aircraft carrier, I have 536 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 1: to come back and check, was at Latey Gulf. I 537 00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:39,440 Speaker 1: think it was at Battle of I think I can't 538 00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: remember off the top of my head, but he was 539 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: in some there were some major engagements that carry was 540 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,680 Speaker 1: involved in and his carrier was I know, hit by 541 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: Kamikaze's a few times, a couple of times, I think 542 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: at least, and he would talk about it. It's just 543 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: it's something where today you think about how would we 544 00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:02,880 Speaker 1: react as a country to something like that if that 545 00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,120 Speaker 1: were to occur Right now? I mean, you could say, well, 546 00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: nine to eleven, that's the closest thing we'd had to it. 547 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:11,359 Speaker 1: But nine to eleven was the nine eleven We had 548 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people that joined up to serve after that. 549 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,560 Speaker 1: We had our volunteer military in place when nine eleven happened. 550 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: We didn't have a draft, right, we had a volunteer military, 551 00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,080 Speaker 1: the finest fighting force in the history of the world, 552 00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: that was called to arms after nine eleven. And I 553 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: do wonder today if you did have a situation where 554 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 1: there was a general call up, how would that, how 555 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 1: would that go? What would that look like? We know 556 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 1: that the media, for example, spends a lot of time 557 00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:48,040 Speaker 1: comparing the riot on January sixth, where there were people 558 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: taking selfies and some of them being escorted in cordial 559 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,319 Speaker 1: and polite fashion by members of Capitol Hill Police. Some 560 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,600 Speaker 1: of them, some of them obviously we're breaking things and 561 00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:03,479 Speaker 1: being violent, but others were just almost doing a self 562 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:08,280 Speaker 1: guided tour of the capitol. Trespassing, yes, but they compare 563 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: that to Pearl Harbor in the media. They'll say it 564 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,280 Speaker 1: was like and actually they'll say it's worse than Pearl Harbor. 565 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:20,520 Speaker 1: There is really a psychosis and a disconnect from reality 566 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 1: that comes up now from the left, from the Democrats 567 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,920 Speaker 1: in this country. And I just don't think they're ready. 568 00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,000 Speaker 1: I don't think that they can psychologically handle. If we 569 00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,440 Speaker 1: were ever to get into a big fight again, I 570 00:35:34,480 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 1: think the blame America first chorus would be very loud 571 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 1: from the left. I think we would run into a 572 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: whole lot of problems. And I'll leave you with this. 573 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,840 Speaker 1: This is from Donald Stratton's book All the Gallant Men 574 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: he wrote, which is about his service in World War Two. 575 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:53,800 Speaker 1: We were ordinary men. Was extraordinary was the country we loved. 576 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,600 Speaker 1: We loved who she was, what she stood for. We 577 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,560 Speaker 1: loved her for what she meant to us and for 578 00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 1: what she had given to us, even in those meager 579 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: times he served on the USS Arizona. So, my friends, 580 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: it's a time of actual remembrance today and it's worth 581 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 1: taking the moment to reflect on it when we come back. 582 00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:22,320 Speaker 1: As you may have heard, Donald Trump still getting another 583 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 1: legal fusillade from the lunatic left. They're coming at him 584 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:32,400 Speaker 1: on this Trump organization thing. Found him, found the organization guilty. 585 00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,160 Speaker 1: Will make sense of this, and we'll also look back 586 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 1: at the election results from last night in George or Hershaw, 587 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 1: Walker and doctor Marty McCarry will be with us for 588 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: this new study on masks. Do they work? No, they 589 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,600 Speaker 1: do not, But we will discuss the details of it 590 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:51,239 Speaker 1: all coming up in the third hour Stick Around
